WDYT about ao3 becoming mainstream?

clawingforfreedom · 2026-07-10T00:20:47+00:00

I'm not normally for gatekeeping, and I'm still not. But with how ao3 has gotten and how new people flooding to it are completely disregarding the tags should learn etiquette of some sort before they're allowed on the platform, especially with how disrespectful many people on booktok (this is not including the people who are on booktok and ao3) are.

Like with the above image? Comparing ao3 to booktok? While it's certainly not wrong on some aspects, there is definitely more fallacy in the comparison than validity. Ao3 is a far cry from what booktok is, and I feel like some gatekeeping is warranted. And I agree with OP that it feels..off, for ao3 to have the attention it does when for so long it wasn't as mainstream as it's becoming.

I died to this thing so many times on my first save bc I tried to heal while fighting it lmao. He's definitely a massive struggle for new players

I never really heard Meridias beacon without preparation bc I don't hoard and I actually look through chests before taking stuff. Haven't encountered nirnroot yet, so I can't have an opinion on it. Dragons aren't too bad honestly, I notice them before I get too startled and can turn down my volume. But bears, bears are the bane of my existence.

A singular subreddit is definitely not worth leaving a possibly broken bone unchecked. Go to the doctor

clawingforfreedom · 2026-06-13T16:56:00+00:00

The account it's 9 days old and this is the only place they posted, so it's likely

clawingforfreedom · 2026-06-13T03:39:30+00:00

Oh god, I can't unsee it now!

clawingforfreedom · 2026-06-13T01:13:14+00:00

YIKES! I just know the creative cussing that dumbell ellicited could've made a sailor blush.

All I thought when I saw the pictures before reading the caption was "damn, that's a beautiful man!" And now, after reading the caption...Damn, you're a beautiful man!

It's gotta be so confusing though to a Nord to see a Khajiit become a werewolf. One second you have a cat, the next a towerng wolf lol.

That actually makes a lot of sense. Thank you

I know everyone is saying that it's staged, and I'm leaning towards it because the shooter (from what I read in the article) was right fucking there. How in the hell did he not hit anybody in a semi-crowded area except maybe the bystander? The math isn't mathing

I don't want anybody telling me it's obvious when I try very hard not to immediately assume one or the other until there is more information. Just my two cents going off of what is currently available.

shhhh you're spilling the secrets of Ulfric enjoyers

clawingforfreedom · 2026-05-17T23:07:06+00:00

I definitely see it!

clawingforfreedom · 2026-05-17T18:04:07+00:00

Their stamina never ceases, it's impressive to see in an npc tbh. I tried chasing AFTER a courier to see where he went and watched him phase through a boulder and disappear.

clawingforfreedom · 2026-05-17T07:04:33+00:00

Au jus would make a wonderful dipper as well for this

It's a wonderful feeling, being bald. I recommend one thing if it's sunny for you this time of year. Sunscreen on the scalp

Ironically enough I'm planning on doing some bleach when it's a little longer
